pitch. In 1991, Villa began his football career with the Langreo side and played there for a solid eight years before making a senior team debut in Sporting Gijón B.
After playing for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-CF-c40864 and in
2010 he was sold to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 for a fee of £34.2 million. Villa has succeeded in justifying his price-tag as the spectacular player is scoring at a rate of about 0.5 goals per match for the Catalan giants.
